Issues Finding Classes in the autoloader

[csaborio]

I'm testing a set of classes that are loaded by a WordPress theme. ( autoload.php ) is included in functions.php. In production, everything works fine and all classes are loaded correctly.

I have the theme's folder mapped to a folder in VVV in the test WordPresssite. The composer.json uses PSR-4 to load the classes:

"autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
        "Compeer\\": "src/"
    }
},
"autoload-dev": {
    "psr-4": {
        "Compeer\\": "tests/wpunit/"
    }
},

I have a series of tests that use the static methods from a class that lives inside src.

In order for these tests to work, I need to include:

require 'src/class-entitystates.php';

I can love with that, but when I try to use a class that relies on another class, I get an error:

PHP Fatal error: Class 'Compeer\Participant' not found in /srv/www/compeer-dev/public_html/wp-content/themes/compeer/vendor/scorpiotek/compeer-wordpress-classes-library/src/class-volunteer.php on line 14

This line is the definition of the Volunteer class:

class Volunteer extends Participant {

The participant class does exist, and like I said, works 100% in production.

If I include a line to load class directly:

require 'src/class-participant.php';

It works, but I don't want to do that, this is the sole reason of the autoload.

I'm clearly not loading the autoload.php file for my tests...I thought the theme loading the autoload.php would take care of this but clearly it's not.

Any ideas?

I created a unit test and had the same issue...ran this command:

composer dump-autoload -o --no-dev

And error about the class is gone, so it's an autoloader thing.

When I ran this command:

codecept run wpunit ParticipantTest

Codecept is stuck and does not finish...this is the debug output:

Running as single site
  Active plugins:
  	- compeer-infrastructure/compeer-infrastructure.php
  	- advanced-custom-fields-pro/acf.php
  Installing WordPress in isolated process...

my guess is that the autoload included every class inside the dependencies of all projects, including dev, and codecept chokes.

So I guess the question is how to make composer load only the required files for the project w/o using dump-autoload -o.

Have spent all day on this and not able to write a single test for my class...help greatly appreciated.

sigh...everything is working now...main problem was that the theme was not defined in the wpunit.suite.yml, hence it was loading twenty-twenty as the theme.

After putting this line:

theme: "compeer"

The classes were successfully autoloaded and I was able to instantiate them.

Moral of the story, --debug is your friend when debugging any sort of test in Codeception.
